Open up and break into another world

"Damn it, that's so shameless!" Sun Ji, who was watching the battle outside the arena, clenched his fists and gritted his teeth.

Sun Ji certainly knew that Xu Ming hadn't taken any forbidden drugs at all; that was just his true strength.

On the contrary, it was Lin Muqing, who kept scolding Xu Ming for taking forbidden drugs, who was now taking them himself.

"It's one thing for an Inner Refinement cultivator to challenge an Outer Refinement cultivator, but now that he can't win, he actually takes forbidden drugs!"

In Sun Ji's opinion, if it weren't for his prominent family background, Lin Muqing would be nothing!

"Just a good-for-nothing relying on his family to show off his power outside!" Sun Ji had a straightforward and violent personality, and he started cursing on the spot.

However, no matter how Sun Ji cursed, he couldn't change the situation on the arena.

At this time, Lin Muqing's aura had soared by a full 50%: "Now, let's see what other tricks you have up your sleeve!"

With such a huge difference in strength, Lin Muqing could crush Xu Ming simply by overwhelming him with attributes!

"This is a bit troublesome!"

Fortunately, Xu Ming had already been fully mentally prepared for Lin Muqing's shamelessness; although he felt it was tricky, he wasn't flustered.

Secretly, Xu Ming calmly cast a "Probe" spell.

"Lin Muqing is currently under the influence of forbidden drugs, his overall attributes are close to the mid-stage of Inner Refinement, he cannot be fought head-on!"

"Evasive tactics? That means being sneaky, right!"

Speaking of being sneaky, that was one of Xu Ming's specialties; when he used to play competitive games, Xu Ming's favorite thing to do was to be sneaky.

In fact, Xu Ming even had a motto—a man who isn't sneaky is wasting his youth!

"It should be easy enough to just delay for half an incense stick!"

In the blink of an eye, Lin Muqing had already rushed over aggressively: "Xu Ming, give me your life!"

"Afraid you won't?" Xu Ming shook his body, flicked his spear, and pretended to step forward to fight head-on.

"Fight head-on? You must think I'm an idiot!" Lin Muqing's eyes were filled with disdain, and the strength in his hand increased a bit.

However, just as the two sides' weapons were about to make contact, Xu Ming's spear suddenly retracted; and Xu Ming himself also ran away.

"Haha! Fight you head-on? Do you think I'm stupid?"

Xu Ming was prepared in advance, so he naturally ran easily.

Lin Muqing, on the other hand, had no preparation at all, and his sword strike missed, making him feel extremely uncomfortable.

"You… you're playing me?"

"I say, Young Master Qing, are you still putting on the airs of a young master at this time? We're in a life-and-death battle, not playing house. What's wrong with me playing with you a little?" Xu Ming took a few steps back and deliberately provoked, "I've only just started playing. There's a lot more to play with you next!"

"You!" Lin Muqing was furious.

However, he also knew that he must remain calm at this time; the less calm he was, the easier it would be for Xu Ming to lead him by the nose.

"Hmph, you just keep playing! My strength far exceeds yours now, it's just that my realm is slightly lower than yours; soon, you will play yourself to death!"

"You can try!" Xu Ming was happy to engage in a war of words with Lin Muqing, because every extra word he said would reduce Lin Muqing's forbidden drug state by a few seconds, "You, your realm is only slightly lower than mine? Let me tell you, if we were at the same cultivation level, I'd let you use one hand, and without weapons, I could still beat you to death!"

"Hmph, I'm just bullying you for having a low cultivation level, so what?"

Lin Muqing charged forward again, and Xu Ming met him with his spear.

"Here we go again? I won't fall into the same pit twice!" Having already suffered once, Lin Muqing naturally became more careful this time, and he didn't dare to attack with all his strength, but left a lot of room for maneuver.

"As long as I'm careful and slowly approach him, getting close to him, then he will undoubtedly be defeated!" Lin Muqing thought.

"Oh?" Xu Ming, in perfect battle state, had extremely sharp eyesight. He saw through Lin Muqing's intentions at a glance, "Since you're not going all out, then…"

Xu Ming's realm was close to the subtle level at this time, and his control over the spear was as effortless as directing his own arm, incomparably detailed. As soon as he discovered that Lin Muqing's strength was a little weak this time, he immediately seized the opportunity and exploded with all his strength.

"Die!!"

The spear's speed suddenly soared, heading straight for Lin Muqing's throat.

"Damn it!" Lin Muqing dodged again and increased the strength in his hand.

However, Xu Ming's spear was like a slippery loach, lightly touching and then retracting, not giving Lin Muqing a chance to fight head-on at all.

"Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!" Having suffered twice in a row, Lin Muqing was about to go crazy; with his third sword strike, he was already prepared to suffer a little injury in order to give Xu Ming a good look.

Xu Ming still had a look of retreating and attacking at the same time.

Only this time, Xu Ming's eyes suddenly lit up, looking behind Lin Muqing: "Xiao Ji, how did you get into the arena? Quick, help me get a big hammer and smash him!"

"What? Someone behind me?" Lin Muqing quickly turned around, only to see that there was nothing behind him.

"Not good!"

Sure enough, Xu Ming's spear had already arrived; although he tried his best to resist, he still suffered a small injury.

"Treacherous and shameless!" Lin Muqing gnashed his teeth in hatred.

This time, even Sun Ji outside the arena couldn't help but agree with Lin Muqing's view: "Boss is really treacherous enough, even using me! But Boss is worthy of being Boss, he must be using actual combat to teach me how to deal with opponents stronger than myself."

Thinking of this, Sun Ji even focused on learning and thinking, but after thinking about it, he found that all of Xu Ming's moves could be summed up in two words—sneaky!

Isn't being sneaky the way to defeat the strong with the weak?

Under Xu Ming's incomparably sneaky delay, even though Lin Muqing had taken forbidden drugs and used all kinds of ultimate moves, he hadn't gained the slightest advantage; on the contrary, he himself had been ambushed by Xu Ming from time to time and suffered some minor injuries.

Half an incense stick of time passed quickly.

"I…" Lin Muqing clearly felt the medicinal power receding from his body like a tide, and the aura on his body suddenly decreased sharply; at the same time, a sense of weakness rose from the depths of his muscles.

Lin Muqing's expression changed drastically: “Not good! The forbidden drug's effect has worn off!”

Now, Lin Muqing is even weaker than before taking the forbidden drug; in terms of attributes, he's not much stronger than Xu Ming.

“This… This… This… This…” Lin Muqing had also been blinded by the killing just now, but now that the drug's effects have worn off, he realizes that his situation is extremely dangerous!

“Why… why has my forbidden drug's time already ended, but yours hasn't?!” Lin Muqing still couldn't accept the fact that Xu Ming hadn't taken any forbidden drug at all. “Where did you buy your forbidden drug from? How can its effects be so long-lasting?”

“Heh.” Xu Ming smiled without saying a word.

Did he need to explain to Lin Muqing that he hadn't taken any forbidden drug at all?

“Lin Muqing, you still have the mind to care where I bought my forbidden drug from? I think you should worry about how you're going to die!”

“You… You want to kill me?” Lin Muqing glared.

“Haha, we're in a fight to the death now; a fight to the death where even admitting defeat is useless!” Xu Ming said, “So… do you think I should kill you?”

The latest and newest novels are at 6_9_s_h_u_b_a. First.

“Admitting defeat is useless, but if we both agree to stop fighting, wouldn't that be okay!” Lin Muqing was so frightened by the current situation that he actually said such a foolish thing.

As expected, Xu Ming immediately cursed, “Idiot!”

“Do you think I would agree to stop fighting? Or think about it, if I were the one being defeated, would you let me go? — Stop talking nonsense and accept your death!”

“You… You… Xu Ming, if you dare to kill me, the Lin family will definitely not let you off!” Lin Muqing threatened weakly.

“The Myriad Beasts Arena, a duel with no survival! It's perfectly justified for me to kill you today!” Xu Ming said, “As long as I'm in the right, even if your Lin family is powerful, our Wild Desolation Martial Mansion will definitely protect me!”

Joining a martial mansion not only provides guidance in martial arts but also protection from the mansion.

Of course, even a powerful martial mansion like the Wild Desolation Martial Mansion couldn't protect its disciples unreasonably; if the disciple was at fault first, and the other party's power was great, then the Wild Desolation Martial Mansion would still make concessions when necessary. But—if one was in the right, then the Wild Desolation Martial Mansion would not let its disciple suffer, even at any cost!

Xu Ming killing Lin Muqing now was no problem at all; killing him was just that. The Lin family was indeed powerful, but the Wild Desolation Martial Mansion was even more powerful!

Originally, Lin Muqing had also considered that the Wild Desolation Martial Mansion was too powerful, and if he killed Xu Ming outside, he might be retaliated against by the Wild Desolation Martial Mansion; therefore, he had painstakingly forced Xu Ming to duel him in the Myriad Beasts Arena!

But he never expected that he, who had entered the Inner Training stage for a long time, would not be able to defeat Xu Ming, who was only at the Outer Training stage. And this fight to the death that he had initiated in the Myriad Beasts Arena had become his own undoing.

“I am incredibly important to the Lin family and a strong candidate to inherit the position of family head! If you kill me, even if you have the protection of the Wild Desolation Martial Mansion, our Lin family will definitely find a way to avenge me!” Lin Muqing threatened weakly, “We might even go to 'Hidden Thorn' to put a bounty on you!”

Hidden Thorn was an incredibly mysterious and powerful assassin organization.

“Stop talking nonsense; today, you will die!” Xu Ming slowly approached.

“Coward is a coward!” Sun Ji, outside the arena, looked at Lin Muqing's blustering appearance and became even more contemptuous, “If the Lin family head is really succeeded by someone like this, then the Lin family's glory probably won't last long!”

“You…” Lin Muqing had nothing to say because he realized that Xu Ming was completely immune to threats.

Helpless, Lin Muqing had no choice but to beg for mercy: “If you are willing to let me go, I am willing to offer you one hundred thousand taels of gold!”

“Oh? Begging for mercy?” Xu Ming stopped with interest, “One hundred thousand taels of gold to buy your life?”

“Yes!” Lin Muqing gritted his teeth.

“Do you have the gold with you? Cash?”

“I have it; as long as you agree to stop the fight, I'll give it to you immediately!”

“Give it to me after agreeing to stop the fight?” Xu Ming smiled, “Do you think I'm stupid! If you go back on your word then, who am I going to cry to?”

“Then… I'll give you the gold first; is that okay!”

“Hehe…” Xu Ming smiled, “I think I'd rather not trouble you to give it to me; I'd rather take it myself; it's more convenient that way!”

Take it himself?

Wouldn't that mean killing Lin Muqing first and then taking it?

“You… If you dare to kill me, I will definitely destroy my storage ring before I die!” The storage ring was made of natural stones mined from nature; it was not easy to make, but it was not difficult to destroy. “If you let me go now, you will not only get one hundred thousand taels of gold for nothing, but you will also not form a deadly feud with our Lin family. Otherwise, you will get nothing, and our Lin family will definitely avenge me!”

Xu Ming thought for a while: “That's right; in that case, your dog life is quite valuable! Hmm—how about this: you give me your entire storage ring, and that will be considered buying your life!”

“Storage ring… No, no way!” Lin Muqing said repeatedly.

The storage ring was his most precious treasure; even if all the items in the storage ring were added together, they would not be as valuable as the storage ring.

If the storage ring was gone, Lin Muqing would almost be bankrupt! At that time, he would not be able to afford the expensive cultivation resources of the Inner Training stage, and his cultivation progress would definitely be slowed down; in that case, his hope of inheriting the position of family head in the future would be slim.

“I'm not bargaining with you; I'm giving you a chance to live!” Xu Ming said expressionlessly, “If you give me the entire storage ring, I might take pity on you and let you go; otherwise, you can die! Anyway, apart from the storage ring, I don't think I'll like anything else you have; if you want to destroy it, then destroy it!”

“Do you want to die or live? Choose quickly! I don't have the patience to wait for long; you know, I've wanted to see you die for a long time!” Xu Ming raised his spear, “I'll only count down three times—”

“Three…”

“Two…”
